KU bookstore open for business
Help desks added to assist students; technology offerings expanded
By Samantha Biastre
Staff Writer
This summer the KU Bookstore
had a major renovation
take place that gave the
bookstore a new look
and feel. As students
return for the new
school year and visit
the bookstore they will
notice many changes
that have taken place. ""I
The store has a :::
whole new layout and
a "more modern color
palette and decor"
according to Amanda Schaeffer, public
relations manager of
Kutztown University
Student Services, Inc.
(KUSSI), which runs
the bookstore. KUSSI is an independent
non-profit affiliate of
Kutztown University that operates and
exists for the benefit of Kutztown
students.
The bookstore which was run
easier access for the students and
the campus community. The outside entrance will also enable the
bookstore to be open during hours
from many satellite locations over
the summer was re-opened on
Tuesday, Aug. 19 and an official
grand opening celebration has
been planned for September.
A new entrance was made on
the outside of the store to provide

Union is closed. Schaeffer says
that one of the; major objectives
of me renovation was to establish
a more efficient use of the limited
space. Various departments in the
store footprint were then relocated
to other areas within the store.
A Textbook Help desk and an
Art Help desk were added in order
to improve the bookstore's ability
to assist students with locating
their course materials and art
supplies that they may need for
their classes.
The technology
product offering
was expanded
and they are
now featured
in the center of
the store. The
apparel and gift
departments of
the bookstore
are now located
directly inside
the main and exterior entrances.
This allows the
bookstore staff to
display all of the
products more
creatively than
they had been
able to in the
of the KU Bookstore past. The Service
Center was relocated closest to inside the main entrance in order to be more visible
and accessible to customers.

KU contingent travels to Canton
for Andre Reed induction
Effort to bring the inductee and alumnus to
campus in works
By Emily Leayman
Editor-in-chief
After the first day of the 2014
Pro Football Hall of Fame induction, August 1, Matt Santos
typed out a detailed account of the
unfolding events all from memory.
His blog, KU in Canton, on the
university website, documents the
time he spent covering KU's own
Andre Reed being inducted into
the Hall of Fame.
"I took no notes," he said. "It
was writing that was not work. It
was so much fun and so interesting to me that it just flowed."
Since Santos started working at
KU in 1992, Reed was one of the
most talked-about names in athletics at the university. Reed, who
played for KU from 1981 to 1984
and was drafted by the Buffalo
Bills in 1985, was one of seven
inductees in 2014. According to
Santos, Reed has been eligible for
nine years and has been a finalist
several times.
Santos, the director of University Relations and an avid pro
football fan, would have probably
stage, and Santos was glad to be
a part of that. His other personal
highlight was the Gold Jacket
Dinner, with its plethora of Hall of
Famers from as early as the 1940s.
Santos did not get to talk to
Reed, who was booked for the
whole event.
The closest
he got was
at the press
conference,
where a
few dozen
cameras and
reporters
surrounded
Reed. Santos

gone anyway if he did not cover
it for work. Despite distractions
from nearby Hall of Famers, he
was able to cover the experience
for Kutztown.
Reed's induction speech easily
gave Kutztown that recognition.
Reed put Kutztown on the map
by mentioning it on the national
when Reed showed up to Kutztown football games.
He recalls one time when he was
working at a home football game
that Reed showed up to:

Starbucks opens in
Bear's Den
Introducing Kutztown's first full Starbucks
By Julia Grimaldi
News Editor
Most students were aware of the
construction to transform the Java
City in the McFarland Student
Union Building's Bear's Den
to a full brand-name Starbucks.
Though some students protested the idea of a new Starbucks
because of their dedication to
Java City, as of Aug. 25, the new
Starbucks is officially open.
To make
room for
the new
Starbucks,
the One
Card Office
alongside
the Bear's
Den was
removed.
It now
resides in the
Academic
Forum.
Though
students
have been
able to
purchase
Starbucks
products for
a while now, this Starbucks is different than the one in the Academic Forum (called the Academic
Grounds). The Starbucks in the
Bear's Den is owned by the Starbucks name, while the Academic
Grounds only offers "proudly
brewed" Starbucks brand coffee.
"[The Starbucks in the Bear's
Den] is a full retail Starbucks
operation that offers the same
products as other retail locations
around the country," said Kent
Dalquist, the director of Housing,
Residence Life and Dining Services. This Starbucks will serve
nationally known specialty drinks
and will provide a larger selection
of food items than the Java City
that it replaced.
Although the Starbucks in the
Bear's Den will have a much
larger product selection than the
Academic Grounds in the Academic Forum, the corporation
comes at a cost.
At the Academic Grounds and
Java City, students with meal
plans can swipe their favorite drinks as a meal. However,
swiping items as meals will not be
offered at the new Starbucks in the
Starbucks opened this week in the Bear's Den.

Bear's Den. Students with meal
plans will only be able to use their
dining flex. Alternatively, bear
bucks, cash and credit cards may
be used.
For the first part of the fall
semester, the university is running
a promotion for students that use
dining flex dollars at the new Starbucks. "They will get a 10 percent
credit back to their dining flex
dollar account of every dining flex
dollar spent at the new Starbucks
in the Bear's Den," said Dalquist.
Though some students will miss
the old Java City in the Bear's
Den, the new Starbucks is certainly a satisfying replacement.
